Id	Description
44693	Python zlib Extension Module Signed Integer Handling Arbitrary Remote Code Ex... An overflow exists in python. Python fails to validate input resulting in a negative signed integer, which triggers insufficient memory allocation and a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
